NEWMARKET — Police on Monday said an administrative hearing would be held in Concord to review the status of the driver's license of the driver in last Tuesday's accident that injured Fire Chief Rick Malasky and Public Works employee Hector Hernandez.

The date of the hearing has not yet been set. Newmarket will receive the date from the state, said Newmarket Police Lt. Jeff Simes.

Stanley Wienansz, 87, is reported to have been driving the motor vehicle that struck the workers. At this time no criminal charges have been filed. Driver in attention caused the accident and the review will determine if there is more to it, Simes said.

Wearing fluorescent green vests, Malasky and Hernandez were drawing lines west of the tracks on Elm Street at the time of the accident, said Simes.

Hernandez is scheduled to have surgery on his leg today, said his wife Belinda. She said her husband's left leg is broken in multiple places and he has a few problems with his neck.

Belinda said her husband got hit in the back and thrown and he would probably be off due to injuries for about four months.

She said her husband loves to work and had been working for the DPW a little over five years.
